It's literally a story wherein hope is held up and vindicated as a noble virtue worth fighting for. This is a wild assertion, IMO. I think it requires only a cursory glance over the last half dozen or so releases.I will happily bet you $20 that DS will be published with slavery intact.Exactly. I don't think it even has to be read as being about providence, though. The power of hope, and of love, are what bring victory in the end, and allow them to rebuild their homes to be better and more prosperous than they've ever been before in the end, and for the elves to go home.This comes across like you're implying that they're gay, and that this makes them not "the common man".</blockquote>
